Heart Rate Continued

From all the equations that I posted yesterday I have HRmax in the range of 184.6 to 199.

199
184.6
186.1
191.5
184.8
187

Obviously discounting 199 from the Fox Haskell formula as it is obviously too high and taking an average of the other scores I get a HRmax of 186.8 bpm, as this is close to the Lund equation which supposably the best estimate it is good enough for me.

I know that heart rates vary from person to person and the best why to actually know your HRmax is to do a clinical trial this is slightly out of my range and having an average HRrest of approx 70 bpm myself I think that I will be pretty safe using this data.

For easier values I will use HRmax 187 bpm and HRrest 70 bpm.

Heart Rate Reserve: HRR = HRmax - HRrest.


Using these two values above this gives me a heart rate reserve of 117 bpm.

Next update will be for target zone and there benefits.
